| How do you describe yourself? | My name is Bennett Reiss Iberico. I am a man on a journey to live a healthy, mindful and grounded life. I am grateful to be alive. My passion is to help and meet them where they are at in their respective journey. I have traveled extensively throughout Latin America, Asia and Europe. I also lived and spent spent a great deal of time abroad between the years of 2006 – 2012 in Latin America and Asia. In 2013 I went through an existential, mental, spiritual and physical transformation. I had a near death experience which resulted in three serious operations. This provoked a journey of recovery and enabled me to re-connect with a higher power and the spiritual side of myself I had long abandoned. I am committed towards expanding my reality and nurturing a network of like-minded individuals and organizations from across the globe. I am a captivated observer of the world around me and a man on a journey to enjoy and live life, while staying informed and fighting the good fight.The world is complicated place, and we must unfortunately choose how we allocate and devote our energy. Staying informed, keeping an open mind, listening to others and keeping an open dialogue with those who do not think the same way you do are essential pillars to a civil society. I do not pretend to be an expert on everything, but I do care. |
